Does the playlist background only use the static colour value or can this be changed on the fly with the tint keywords?

Ideally I want to create some playlist skins that have the playlist embedded into the main skin.The only way I can see that happening is if we use a hack to open the main skin (an invisible skin), which then automatically opens the playlist so that the playlist becomes the new main skin.

Do the tints currently persist across all the windows if set by the main skin?I know link keyword does not persist across main skin to playlist

Actually that's a good point, I haven't tested this yet, but the tinting may well modify that single background pixel colour and change it. I'll test it when I get a chance.

Well now that each of the seperate plugins (playlist, main, eq, etc) are merged back into the core it would be possible for me to create a SUI which would allow you to do this. I do want to move this way. The first beta release won't include SUI support, but I will be moving in that direction. I'd prefer you didn't hack for now as it would just mean you'd need to update your skin later.

Currently no as it's directly linked to a particular layer. I could allow for a form of global tinting, I'll just need to decide how best to do it.

Yea the global tinting is a must have going forward It should also apply the colour setting for linked ids even if the other windows are closed so that all components are kept the same when opened.I didn't have the patience to do a playlist with 4 layers, which would seem very clunky

Yes, I had a catastrophic meltdown with massive flames and tons of smoke. Really though, my comp pretty much blew up.

Left me in a very shitty situation so I had to take out a loan and I figured I'd buy something insane since that was the case. So I did. Literally just got it up and running and starting to transfer my stuff over. I was worried that my drives were fried but thankfully everything is working... The xion files are right here

@Cliff Nice one on the pre release, good move. The skin would've been released by now if it wasn't for the mishap, I am 99.4% complete. Just gotta polish it up really. Oh and there's one last unreleasable bug with the hue which I'll talk to you about once I have AIM up and running.
